Life Fellow Contributions

2008 Life Fellow Contributions for the Fellows of the American Bar Foundation

Each year Life Fellows’ contributions support the innovative and influential research being done by the Foundation. Your continued financial support is vital to this work.  

For more than fifty years, the Foundation has been doing research that has changed how the legal profession understands itself, understands the law, and understands how the law can shape the society in which we live. Current projects continue that legacy through unprecedented studies, including: the changing careers of lawyers; how juries actually work and what jury reforms can have a meaningful impact; how law school changes the way law students think about justice; how families make life or death decisions concerning loved ones who can no longer make decisions for themselves; and much more. 

Life Fellow Giving Societies

Giving Societies are opportunities for Life Fellows to continue contributing to the Foundation once they have completed their initial Fellows pledge. Giving societies are as follows:

  • A Life Fellow who contributes a minimum of $250 annually will be named a Sustaining Life Fellow
  • A Life Fellow who contributes an aggregate of $5,000 will be named a Life Patron Fellow
  • A Life Fellow who contributes an aggregate of $10,000 will be named a Life Benefactor Fellow
  • A Life Fellow who contributes an aggregate of $25,000 will be named a Life Leadership Fellow

Contributions can be pledged over a period of years. All donors in these categories will be acknowledged in the Fellows Roster.
